If what you mean is that you wish there was a way of copying non
contiguous file names from a folder then you can do this as well.
Assuming this is what you want to do.
1. navigate to the first file name using normal cursor keys.
2. Press VO Command return twice. The first press will un-select the
filename the second will re-select it ready for adding non contiguous
files for selection.
3. Importantly from here on do not use normal cursor keys as this will
lose you any of the selections you have made .
4. Using VO down arrow navigate to the next file name you want to select.
5. Now hit VO Command return again. Voiceover will say added to
selection, 2 files selected.
6. Remembering to still not use the normal cursor keys navigate with VO
down arrow and hit VO command return on each file you want to add to the
selection. Voiceover will monitor how many files you have selected for you.
7. Once you have all the filenames you want needed selected then press
command C to copy them all to the Mac pasteboard and then follow
instruction in TextEdit as before.

You are a superstar, David!
It worked, and I am very grateful to you. You just saved me several hours of
work. I wish there were a way to actually go into each folder and copy the
names of individual files, but this method can be used for that, too. It just
takes repeating the process.
Thanks so much; you really helped me.

1. Copy all the files in Finder by selecting them and pressing command C.
2. Open TextEdit.
3. Press command shift T to force the format in TextEdit to text only.
4. Press command V to paste in the filenames.
Job done.

Hello everyone,
For work purposes, I need to keep a log of files that I edit. Is there a way
to copy just the list of filenames, not the files themselves into a document?
I suppose that I could go into the folder, interact with each file and copy
each individual filename, but that seems a little arduous.
Thanks and kindest regards,
Mike
